더 하포드 호텔(The Hafod)

If you are after a place with contemporary interior with excellent food and service next to a natural beauty spot (Devils Bridge) then this hotel is for you. Oh, if you are Hinterland fan then this is a must.We were going to spend just one night but ended up staying for two nights at two different rooms - both excellent. They open only in w/e in January so don't hesitate book it quick.

Fantastic location. A bit pricey but well worth it. Lovely friendly helpful staff. Excellent food and service. Electric heaters in the bedrooms are a challenge but ok once you work it out and essential because of huge gaps in the windows with freezing drafts being on top of the valley. Windows need an urgent refurb. Large car park that looks rough but is safe in this area. Short walk to stunning Devils Bridge falls and steam railway to Aberystwyth with stunning Rheidol Valley. Highly recommended for a short trip. Fab.

We stayed for one night over NYE and had the most amazing time- had never been here before and it was so lovely! Staff were great and attended to everything we needed. Food was great quality and nice selection. Our room was amazing, the comfiest bed! And beautiful views out our window. Could not fault anything and would absolutely recommend.

Absolutely delighted with my stay at this beautiful hotel nestled in a stunning location. The surroundings were breathtaking, offering a tranquil escape. The attention to detail in the hotel's design and decor added to the overall charm. The culinary experience exceeded expectations; the food was not only delicious but also presented with artistic flair. The staff's hospitality was outstanding – warm, attentive, and always ready to assist. Their local knowledge and recommendations enhanced my exploration of the area. The seamless service truly contributed to a memorable and relaxing stay.

We had a really lovely couple of days, service was fantastic everyone was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely book to stay here again.

The hotel throughout was well presented and clean. The room was comfortable and clean. Nice bed and bedding. The evening meal and breakfast was lovely and plenty of it. The staff are friendly and it has a laid back feel. Lovely location.

Best: The staff and service! Wide variety of food mostly very well done. Unique boutique hotel w/15 rooms. Nothing else comes close in the area. Cons: No lift (elevator) but that comes with a refurbished building this old. Renovations are continuing. Story: We decided to tour Wales by train so we didn’t have a car. Took the Rheidol steam train out from Aberystwyth which is a day/trip tourist train not normally used for regular commuting. They do have secured luggage storage for the trip though. Getting to the Hafod Hotel was little bit of a chore do to us having four bags.(some gravel and downhill). Packing small would be an advantage. Stayed three nights. The Devil’s Bridge area is beautiful with waterfalls being the highlight. Trekking through the two separate paths is not for the lighthearted….a bit of a workout but very rewarding! Talked to the staff about getting back up to the Rheidol station and one of them actually gave us and or bags a ride back up! Above and beyond! We gave him a separate tip. Overall the staff was excellent in attitude and service!

Amazing hotel room (duke of newcastle), excellent food, marvellous service, ideal location.

We were travelling as a family and had a really relaxing wonderful stay at The Hafod Hotel. The service was great, the hotel is really lovely and the views were stunning. Food was delicious too. Would definitely like to stay here again.
